I made Zhao suffer 
and hurt the people he loved.
Meinetwegen mussten Zhao
und seine Liebsten so sehr leiden.
Hice que Zhao sufriera
y lastimé a los que amaba.
Hice que Zhao sufriera
y dañé a los que amaba.
Je l’ai fait souffrir…
Ho fatto soffrire Zhao 
e ferito le persone che amava.
Eu fiz o Mano Zhao sofrer e
feri as pessoas que ele amava.
Я заставила Чжоу страдать,
навредила тем, кого он любит.
